USS Atlanta (IX-304)
Shock mounting system for equipment mounted on board Atlanta,
photographed as she was completing conversion to a weapons effects
test ship at the Hunters' Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco,
California, circa October 1964.
The original picture caption, released by 12th Naval District
Office of Public Information, reads: "The shock mounted
recorders are suspended on 'rubber rope' between the ceiling
and deck. Regardless of the shock the ship receives, the equipment
will float free insuring accurate recording."
